Devin B. Johnson
Did I find you, or you find me? There was a time before we were born—the ground, the sky and everything in-between came together. This earth, these streets, these walkscapes are sponges of experience, relaying memory texturally, haptically. Feet on the ground, head in the sky, my sight, my touch, my emotions and memories are constructed of the same basic elements as everyone else’s. I’m not the first to wander these streets—I won’t be the last—but these feelings are mine alone.
